Living with Wood
Wood has very many positive attributes as a natural construction material, but was for a long time neglected in the architecture of western Europe. However, this situation has changed a great deal over the course of recent decades. Construction with wood has gained a solid reputation and is seen as a valid alternative to traditional building with bricks. Wood also offers many advantages: processing it is both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, the construction time is short, and it is a very durable material. Many wooden constructions have withstood the test of time over hundreds of years. The most important reason for selecting wood, though, is the pleasant atmosphere enjoyed by owners of wooden houses. This also applies when wood is used as an essential element of an interior: floors, panelling and fitted cabinetwork create a welcoming feeling of warmth and cosiness in a home. This book features many inspiring examples of both houses and interiors: homes constructed out of wood and also traditional brick buildings where wood occupies a prominent position inside the house.

This book is a collection of stories and poems written by John W. Wood. Some of the stories come from his memories as a boy growing up in Flint, Michigan.

As a peace officer and bodyguard, John has met people from all walks of life. His time in the Marines gave him opportunities to work for, and with, many veterans. They shared their stories of combat, and this comes out in his poems. This collection speaks of failures and triumphs, and above all, it speaks from the heart. This is the large print edition of The Ramblings Of John W. Wood, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
